Sharing from the perspective of a new mom of 2.. somehow adding one extra child has sent our family admin totally off the rails. With one kid I felt like we had a decent handle on it.. now, our accountant had to email us about 4 times just to get our signatures for our tax filing.
something I’m realizing is that work travel plays a big role in how family admin gets allocated, and also makes it difficult to establish rhythms. My husband travels a lot for work so it’s hard for him to fully own any of the day to day admin as he’s a) away often and b) away for different amounts of time, on different days of the week, etc. If anyone has ideas for establishing rhythms with a partner who travels a lot I am all ears!
Hey Sarah - no idea how this works. But in our house it is full division. I never worry about groceries or cooking and he only worries about doctors if I cannot make an appointment and put it on his calendar. Sometimes we get bored of a job and swap for a bit.
